Lost in Space (ENGLISH)

Lost in Space (Bruce Broughton). Bruce Broughton music complements well the action of the Robinson family on their journey to the colonization of Alpha Prime, the only known habitable planet besides Earth. With an irremediable taste for the music and orchestration of John Williams, Broughton resolves with good skills, but without the obvious thematic in which Williams is expert in doing. This does not mean this is demerit of the composer, since music is only a reflection of what the image and the script tell. But the rich orchestration and abundant footage of the 2016 expanded edition make this album a great value for true fans of film music.

Besides having to make last minute changes reflected in the 2016 expanded album as "revised" versions, Broughton composed the score in the record time of 2 and a half weeks. And it is that Hollywood can never compensate for the tremendous effort that many composers are forced to do due to the short time lapse given for the music composition, often generated because tasks of shooting and postproduction "eat" time originally planned for the last task in the production of a film.

John Williams theme for the original series of the 60s was not used for the score of the film, although it is versioned in the end credits by the band Apollo Four Forty.

With the premiere of the film in 1998, a soundtrack with songs and a portion of Broughton score was released. The great work of the composer was offset by releasing the score alone a year later by Intrada. In 2016, again Intrada reissued the music in expanded format, including multiple alternate versions and a booklet with notes about the film and the work of the composer.
